Quoting RAGAZZO777 (Thread starter):Also, CM will start services to Iquitos (IQT), Peru, on July 14. Iquitos is the sixth largest city in Peru and there were direct flights between IQT and MIA in the past.

Interesting--I figured secondary Peru was imminent but I assumed it'd be something like TRU first. IQT is not a bad add though.

Incredible news CM is starting flights to IQT!!! Woow! It has been rumored a while, great its happening!!!

Iquitos sure needs connections, since there is no road leading to the city. The CM frequency might do very well in the cargo sense, not only the freight can connect on the IB or KL flight to Europe, but to dozens of destinations to the US and Central America/Mexico!!!

great nes, but I hoped for more than 2 x weekly flights... I have to go back once to IQT so lets cross fingers for good miles deals!

You're most welcome ! I should have mentioned that the new flight frequency to Miami is only seasonal, though. It will run from June 23 through August 28.

Trust me, we all assumed CM would fly first to TRU or AQP, not IQT, so it was quite a surprise when they announced Iquitos as their new Peruvian destination. That said, I still expect CM to fly to Arequipa and/or Trujillo in the future.

Still nothing on a CUZ frequency?

Hola, Checo. I know, man, it'll be great to see Copa fly to Iquitos !! Finally, Iquiteños won't need to fly to LIM first to leave the country, so good for them !

Quoting jetsetter629 (Reply 6):I thought the Peruvian government would not allow international flights out of CUZ (well, apart from the former 5L to LPB). I think AQP will be added before CUZ

Actually, the thing that's stopping most international carriers from flying into CUZ is the airport's elevation issues. Cuzco Airport is elevated 10,860 ft above mean sea level, which only allows short-haul flights (hence AeroSur services to La Paz). Also, the airport facilities are a little dated now and that's why a brand new airport is on the cards.

Not surprised that much, except for IQT becoming a CM destination before AQP in Peru and SJU getting a 3rd daily.
I'd not have expected SJU to be able to support thrice daily flights to PTY, well the 3 daily could be all with E190 then.

Because altitude issues, I don't see CM in CUZ or LPB any time soon.
What I'm concern is how is CM going to take-off from CWB short runway for non-stop to PTY when they probably start later this year.

I would elaborate the comprehensive moves on Copa Airlines:
May 29: CMPTY-PEI; 5x to 6x
June 01: CMPTY-UIO; 14x to 21x
June 01: CMPTY-GYE; 14x to 21x
June 10: CMPTY-CUR; 4x; E90 NEW
June 10: CMPTY-ASU; 4x to 7x; 738 all the way
June 10: CMPTY- CUN; 14x to 21x
June 17: CMPTY-PEI; 6x to 7x
June 18: CMPTY-BSB; 4x to 7x (4x 738 + 3x 73G)
June 20: CMPTY-KIN; 2x to 4x
June 21: CMPTY-MAO; 4x to 7x; E90
June 22: CMPTY-CTG; 11x to 18x
June 22: CMPTY-MDE; 28x to 35x
June 22: CMPTY-JFK; 14x; 738 all the way
June 22: CMPTY-ADZ; 5x to 6x
June 22: CMPTY-SJU; 14x to 21x
June 22: CMPTY-SCL; 21x to 28x till August 23
June 23: CMPTY-MIA; 28x to 33x till August 28
June 23: CMPTY-REC; 4x 73G NEW
June 24: CMPTY-LIR; 2x; E90 NEW
June 27: CMPTY-LAS 5x NEW
July 01: CMPTY-LIM; 28x to 35x
July 14: CMPTY-IQT; 2x weekly; E90 NEW

It's only the first step and it would highly depend on the demand of passengers.
For example, CMPTY-LAS has not started yet and it surprisingly upgraded their frequencies from 4x to 5x weekly and effective from June 27th.
